Train

It is that time of year again! Time to break out the old Train! We have a new member of the family who has to be introduced...And trust me, he loves it. We just might have a Train boy with this one!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve this year was really LOW KEY for us. I kind of liked it. I woke up really early to get our grocery shopping done before the crowds started in and then spent the day making Banana Bread and Caramelized Cinnamon Almonds, and watching Christmas Movies. YUM! Mike had to work but got home about 6 and we ate a Party Platter with Meats, Cheeses and Crackers. We then opened up our Christmas Pajamas and gave Gavin a bath to get ready for bed. We put Gavin to bed late that night in hopes that we could sleep in a little bit on Christmas Morning! Stay tuned for more Christmas to come...

Christmas Eve Pajamas!

Thanksgiving Point Lights

This year on the 23rd, we went to see the lights at Thanksgiving Point. It is a drive thru lights display & we have decided to make it a family tradition as we went last year on the 23rd as well. We waited in line for about 1/2 hour before we got in & drove 15 minutes through it! We took Gavin out of his car seat & sat him on my lap in the front seat as we were only going 3 miles an hour in stop & go light display action! Gavin loved it & liked pointing at all the fun light displays. We can't wait to go see it next year!

Temple Square

Last weekend, we ventured Downtown to Temple Square with our good friends Kammi, Kevin & Kahlin & with Mike's mom, Mary. We had dinner at CPK & then went to the Temple. It was kind of cold but we were all bundled as you can see in the pictures & Gavin didn't enjoy the stroller so much but LOVED the lights. This is the first year that Mike & I have actually been to see the lights on Temple Square together. We went the 1st year we were married but we flew over it by Helicopter. This is something that we will definitely have to make a yearly Family tradition.

A New Tradition

This Year we went to see the Lights at Thanksgiving Point. It is an AWESOME drive through light display for Christmas Time. I forgot my camera to take my pictures, but they had some AMAZING displays. I would suggest everyone check it out. We have decided that we are going to make it a new Family Christmas Tradition (as long as we are still in Utah &/or driving distance) The best part of the display was at the end they had boards with "The Christmas Story" with the Star & the Shepard's & the baby Jesus. It was a great night & we can't wait to do it again next year!
